Extron IN1508 Scaling Presentation Switcher can edit in menu to 4:3 and change output the resolution to 480P. I have M2 ShotTriggers Battle Garegga and Dangun Feveron running on the PS4 / Xbox One in full-screen TATE 4:3.

So what output resolution do you use on the console side to achieve that ?

When you say setting the PS4 resolution to 480p doesn’t work (without using an additional video processor) on a VGA monitor, what does it do exactly?

The signal is out of range. No display.

I am displaying 1080p out to the Extron which is converting the signal to 640x480 VGA and has options for 16:9 or 4:3 output.

Interested in how you are going out to the Extron. I looked up the model you have but I didn't see an HDMI in. Interested to know more since I'll probably want to rig up a PS4 in my cab.

A VGA to HDMI adapter is used to hook up the EXTRON. You must use a Powered unit for the PS4 to display VGA.

Maybe I am missing something, but yesterday I tried the Switch in a 640x480p 4:3 monitor, and although the output fills the screen without top and down borders, the aspect ratio is wrong. Let me explain, circles are ellipsis and squares are rectangles, seems that rendering is artificially stretched vertically to fit the screen and keeps the 1280x720 source resolution.

For Tokyo-J,

Does the Switch port of Crimson Clover support 4:3 mode on a candy cab setup?

Can anyone confirm if it's really the case that Switch supports native 4:3 resolutions, and if so, which ones
* 640x480
* 800x600
* 1024x768
* etc

And how? Is a HDMI to VGA adapter enough to get this working on a VGA CRT PC Monitor?

This is the only place I've found where someone claims that the Switch outputs native 4:3...

Also, keep in mind @jandrogo comment about aspect ratio. So it's not just about the output resolution, it's the software capacity of the Switch/game of producing a 4:3 aspect ratio game (circles are circles, not ellipses).

Isn't one of the Switch Radirgy games that has Radirgy 1 included, is it playable in tate with full 640 x 480 resolution?

Sorry just seeing this. Will have to dig out the adapters and try it on my Naomi Candy later this weekend.

You need a HDMI to VGA adapter and to change the resolution. I need to check the options again for more details. It has been a few years.
